10/9/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours slightly hazed golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet apple, caramel, citrus, slight funky peachy edge. Quite sweet, with minimal tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Sweet apple finish.

750ml wired cork bottle form Le Social. Opened with a loud pop. Red amber colour, off-white foamy head that quickly dissipates and aroma of apple, musty, rubber. Taste is sweet, juicy, apple, fruity, grapey, with some rubbery funk and drying tannin. Medium bodied, light foamy carbonation, dry tangy fruity tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

750ml wired cork bottle from Le Social. Opened with a pop. Orangey golden colour, big foamy white head that quickly dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of fruity apple, some caramel. Taste is sweet, juicy, apple, stewed, ripe fruit, with caramel notes, some funk, tartness and alittle tannin. Medium bodied, medium to high carbonation, medium-sweet finish. Quite drinkable.

330ml bottle from Le Social. Orange golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of fruity apple, mucky funk. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, some caramel & funk hints, with bittersweet tannin. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

33cl bottle from Appalachian Vinter. One month fridge sleep. Stemless wine glass @ home. Attractive amber, slightly greasy color. Voluminous head. Congested head of sulfur/eggs. Once cleared it's more like veggies, mulch, pickled charcuterie, macerated & lightly rotten apples. Taste is sweet like dark rock candy upfront, rounding into some light tartness & earth, then turning abruptly minerally & dry. Could be brighter, could have a better nose, but this tastes pretty French to me. Good.

Sampled thanks to sjogro. Still quite dry, sweet juicy, dry mineral funk, pear, light earthy, dead leaves. Medium sweet, medium bitter, at least quite bitter for a cider. Medium dry. OK but not great.

Sweet, bitter and tart apples, blossomy, citrusy, tannins, chalky, raspy dry mineral feel to it. Juicy, watery, with a dry finish. Notably less body than the ‘premium’, but an interesting chalky/minerallike touch in return. #vloeibaarhoutinjectie
